    Library For A Spectrum Analyzer That Works With Linux

    Hello I am trying to build an mp3 player and I would like it to have a spectrum analyzer.

    Is there a library that will play mp3 and show a spectrum analyzer?

    Google says to use FFTW but this lib is far to complicated to use in my opinion and it does not seem to play mp3s. I would need this to work with linux.

    Thanks in advance.

    How much work do you want to do yourself?

    I mean, there are numerous audio libraries, graphical libraries and signal processing libraries to choose from.
    With the right combination, you might get your contribution down to a page of code, but would you get that much "I did that" satisfaction from it?
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    Good point and thank you for the reply. Is there one that you would recommend? I will just have to deal with the complexities.
